Inspired by lovely Nicolette over at Dutch Comfort, I made these 3 rather sad looking origami cranes.
As Nicolette explains, in Japan the crane is a symbol of long life and happiness and if someone is lucky enough to have a thousand cranes then their wish is granted. While the crane is folded, positive thoughts are sent to those who are ill or in need of help.
My cranes are not nearly as pretty as Nicolette`s (they obviously have lovely colourful glossies in the Netherlands), but it was fun making them. I used this video tutorial and old magazines et voila.
I believe there is power in positive thinking so let`s all think positive thoughts and if you have the time or inclination, make some cranes too.
Happy weekend!
